Ok, well they're for our MAME system so headphones are stupid and 5.1's won't have any sound difference from the 2.1's.

Also, should be buy online or just get them at the local computer store?

Wait for the Altec ATP3 to go on sale (got a set at Staples for $25 AR/AC) about two months ago...

I guarantee you these speakers will rock!!!

The THX enabled ones (are there normal ones?) are $170 here. Pretty steep. I got a $50 mail in rebate on mine; the $120 is a bit easier to swallow. The speakers are excellent :D

Compgeeks has some Yamaha MST50s (refurb) for $50 now ... I bought a set of these like 4 years ago, and they sound excellent. IMO they are awesome for 2.1s.
